Wet 'n Wild!
Category: Nature 'n Landscapes

Wet 'n Wild they were - on the forest floor adjascent to Kapila river, enduring the heavy rains in the last few months. We were on our way to the top of Ettina Bhuja, when I saw these wild Bracket Fungi. The canopy was thick and the available light was low - but whatever sun came in was shining from the rain water collected in these mini pots:

The pic is taken using the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L wide angle zoom lens at its widest focal length, Av mode, ISO-400 and f/3.2. I chose to go for a -4/3 step exposure compensation for a 1/40s exposure time.

We saw more of these beauties later in our trek ... and the one here was a lot smaller than the first one. Once again, I used the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L wide angle zoom lens at its widest focal length. Camera was set to Av mode, ISO-800 and f/2.8 with an exposure compensation of -1 step, giving me an exposure time of 1/60s.

Lovely images from the forest! I think you took the advantage of that fast lens! Great colours and texture

Mridula: I posted the 2nd one coz of the greens :) Wish I got the leaves also in focus

Rajesh: Thnx. The border is indeed very conspicuous

Mohkum: Cudnt carry the tripod as it was a reasonably tough trek. So, had to rely on the fast lens :)

Joshi: Thnx Joshi
